Prayer for young people

Jesus, for two thousand years, you have been in the hearts of many young people who feel the profound desire to look into your eyes and scrutinize the panoramas of history made up of people who lived in the warmth of your "good news" that God loves us.
Jesus, there are many young people who, in the light of your truth, express the aspiration to build authentic relationships, to know true love, to dream of founding a united family that guarantees a peaceful and happy future.
Jesus, who worked alongside Saint Joseph in the laboratory of Nazareth, ensure that young people can find a job that gives them dignity, joy of living and being useful; he ensures that no one loses their enthusiasm in search of a greater life.
Jesus, you are the answer to our desire for the infinite. Maintain in all of us the generosity of a youthful heart that knows how to repeat with conviction: "Our heart is restless until it rests in You".
Jesus, let us follow "the imprint of the God of life" on the paths of our human adventure, convinced that eliminating God to make man live is blindness! God is the source of life and eliminating him is equivalent to "the creature vanishing".
